Happy 4th to those who celebrate!
For Lily- her prompt was "Who would have guessed our plans would go this crazy?" with Tro, Quat and Fei. I hope I got crazy enough...
Drabble 61
Wufei joined Trowa on the hard wooden bench and handed him a bottle of water.
"Thanks," Trowa rubbed his cheek, leaving a smear of soot across his cheekbone before twisting the bottle cap off. "Want some?"
"Had some," Wufei leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes and tucking an escaped strand of hair behind his ear. "Drank the whole thing in two damn seconds."
Trowa stifled a sigh and nearly did the same, chucking the empty bottle at a nearby recycle bin when he finished. He leaned back against the wall and watched his lover through narrowed eyes.
Quatre was on his cell phone, pacing up and down the sidewalk. He was too far away for Trowa to hear him, but judging from the line between Quatre's eyebrows, he was obviously still a little upset. Not that Trowa blamed him, if he wasn't so damn sore, he'd be upset too.
"How's your leg?" Wufei asked and Trowa squinted down at it. The long scrape was still oozing a little through the bandage that had been wrapped around it.
"Better. Your wrist?"
"Still sore- they said it's sprained." Wufei shifted a little. "And I think I have some bruises-"
"Me too." Trowa settled a little more securely against the wall. "Who would have guessed our plans would go this crazy? I mean- we started off okay-"
"Of course we did," Wufei reassured him. "Lunch out, picking up some fireworks for later-"
"Maybe we shouldn't have gotten the fireworks from Duo."
"They did seem a little more powerful than the normal ones- or maybe it was that they all went off at once? I don't think we were supposed to light them all together."
"Well, that wasn't in the plan- we didn't know the car engine was going to catch on fire." Trowa looked at Quatre again. "I hope he mentions that to the dealership. That's a design flaw if I ever saw one."
"No kidding. Cars should do that- or go over cliffs for that matter." Wufei sighed.
"Well, that was my fault. Though I wasn't trying to go over the cliff- I was trying to pull over- but there was that jackrabbit in the road-"
"I noticed- still- it was a nice piece of driving-"
"Thanks. I'm just glad you and Quatre were able to jump out in time-"
"He was a little pissed you didn't follow-"
"My seat belt got stuck- and I did manage to grab that branch- it wouldn't have been an issue if those fireworks hadn't gone off too-"
"They were pretty impressive though- even in the middle of the day- and they did get the cops there pretty quick."
"Good thing Quatre has a good relationship with the local authorities- or that would've been messy." Trowa studied his leg again. "Maybe I should've let them take me in for stitches."
Quatre snapped his phone closed and came to sit on Trowa's other side. "All taken care of- Rashid is coming to get us- Duo is going to meet us at the house with more fireworks."
"Car?"
"Going to be examined- it shouldn't have caught fire like that."
"Maybe it was another assassination attempt?" Wufei suggested.
"Could be," Quatre shrugged. "A really lame one, if it was." He looked at Trowa's leg. "I think you do need stitches."
"Probably, but I don't really want to sit around the ER for a few hours- it's already been a hell of a day."
"We can stitch you up, just like the bad old days." Quatre grinned. "It was a lot like them today."
"Exploding cars, cliffs, death defying stunts? True," Wufei looked amused. "All we need would be a mobile doll attack and we'd be set..."
Quatre grinned wider. "Well, we could always...."
"No." Trowa cut him off. "Don't even think it."
"Spoilsport."
